And you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife.
Today’s (hopefully) biggest mistake: finally giving in and answering the phone to British Gas. (Still wanting money for a job they didn’t do, and which we don’t want or need.)
The news, which will be about Rayner’s property, so you can probably count that. (Not the point, I know, but still.)
I know exactly what you mean.
You have my sympathy. (Not sarcasm!)
Oh no, it looks like the scandal goes deeper than we could have imagined!
I’m getting hints of Björn Ulvaeus.
“Buy it!”
I quite liked it, but Liebrand was always from the “let’s throw more stuff in” school of remixing. You couldn’t call his stuff “stripped back”. (I listened to his mix of INXS’s Need You Tonight the other day, out of curiosity; my goodness, it’s busy.)
I’m assuming that’s the Ben Liebrand mix of Englishman in New York, otherwise it’s an odd fit.

Remember the happy, care-free 1980s?
“Seething”
Why not remember them with a non-AI-generated t-shirt? www.redbubble.com/people/nikho...
🎶 People seem woke, if you think it’s an insult 🎵
The early drafts of Jim Morrison lyrics are the best versions.

The “‘s” was both punctuationally incorrect, and decidedly optimistic.
Ta.
I think I either missed, or have forgotten about this (the reaction, obviously I saw BtE). Is there something I can read from the time, or is it best left forgotten?
Good luck! I hope a good time is had by all.
Jump, Motor Bikin’, Jump, Jump.
It’s a fair cop. Yorkshire Gold ok?
*hands empty mug over* Milk, no sugar please - cheers!
I’m afraid she who smelt it dealt it.
Trim It Couldn’t Happen Here down to the Neil Dickson pilot scenes? Maybe dub over new dialogue. Sorted!
Yes. Do you even need to ask?
(He’d apparently just won first place in an Ed Miliband lookalike contest. He neither looked like Ed Miliband nor sounded like Morten Harket, sadly.)
(Derek Draper was also in attendance, and did the “we’re not worthy” bowing-down gesture towards me during my rendition of Common People. Not saying I was a karaoke demon in those days, but the DJ asked me to sing more, possibly as an antidote to the chap who “bravely” decided to do Take On Me.)
Loved this. Interesting to hear about Ed Balls’ karaoke-hijacking tendencies. I’ve witnessed firsthand him and @pollybillington.bsky.social singing Islands in the Stream at a fundraiser, and he must have been on his best behaviour, as that was his only song.
Similar to what any of my Bluesky followers are going to realise if they become my customers!
I used to think that (the first bit). Instead I just rebranded my account as a personal one, on which I occasionally remember to plug my wares. (But mostly forget and just witter on.)
Hope your day improves!
That’s a lot of work. Wishing you all the best.
Bananas = jokers
Begs for Gregg’s and hoovers up the dregs.

“He hasn’t got an arse.”
Comes to us all in the end.
Redeployment emails clearly getting to me. Had dream I was redeployed as a news reader. Tried out in some late weekend slots, but I was “on location” rather than in a studio, and couldn’t hear myself speak. The result was a bit Martin Brown. #PregabalinDreams
That rings a bell.
The waters were muddied by Derek talking about being on twitter in an interview with Iain Lee. Never did get the whole story there.
Police were involved. I had to give a statement about how I was persuaded to buy “Derek” some Bod phone cases, on the mistaken assumption that he actually was Derek. NOT THAT I’M STILL FUCKING BITTER ABIUT HOW THE (pre-Musk) TWITTER GUYS GAVE HIM A FUCKING BLUE TICK.
You might very well think/ask that. I couldn’t possibly comment.
Well I’m not really sure how much it needed doing in the first place. It was fitting a magnetic filter to our boiler. It wasn’t a repair, as that would have been covered by our home care agreement. It wasn’t made clear to me what the benefits of having it, or the risks of not having it, were.
No. They had several previous appointments which they missed (sickness, part not in stock, then just not turning up or calling) so I said I wasn’t going to make any further appointments until they gave some assurance they’d honour them. They went quiet until they started trying to bill me. Twats.
They’ve told me they (or rather their minions Dyno) did the work on 3/7. Apparently me pointing out that they didn’t come here on that day is not enough to cancel the invoice, in this post-truth world.
For a sec, I thought one of Pet Shop Boys had a sideline in bike stands.
If you EVER find that you’re asking yourself this question, I have two answers for you: nikhorne.redbubble.com and beebthings.redbubble.com
Thanks. Wife is currently talking to them (she’s supposed to be the main contact now, but they keep texting me, despite that). I’ll keep the O word in mind!
Being harassed by British Gas, to pay an £220 invoice for work they never actually did, is a world of fun.
Mine was Now 4. Now 14 was the first, and only, one I had on cd.
Surely this should be the greatest conspiracy theory movie ever?
Which was the first one to be properly released (unabridged) on CD?
“You can’t give a baby booze!”
Saw this, thought of @chartmusictotp.bsky.social
About to drop my new mix album of Ibiza classics.
Thanks to Pavlovian reactions, and the sometimes erratic nature of Spotify discover weekly, this song now always makes me want to have a bath.

I hope they did it in the style of Esther Rantzen, changing gear from a serious consumer report to some risqué misprints. [pause] “Mollie.”
Spotted this card at my dad’s house. Thought it looked nice so had a closer look. Turned out I painted for my sister’s birthday, 27 years ago.
I just looked at the plot summary for Nightmare in Silver on Wikipedia. I still have absolutely no memory of that episode. Unusual.

There is a reason why I know that, but my memory of the anecdote in question is so poor that it’s not worth me trying to relate it.
Having a daft laugh.

I beg you, nonautistic world, if you want a meeting or a "quick chat" with an autistic person, tell them exactly what the discussion is going to about when you arrange i. I have a "meeting about teaching" tomorrow and the uncertainty is making me feel sick.
Daughter is watching this episode of 7 Bears www.netflix.com/watch/81497462 which repeatedly refers to apples as “sky potatoes”. I think @herring1967.bsky.social should sue.
Useful.
*cough* www.redbubble.com/i/t-shirt/be... (Lovingly re-created hi-res drawing, not crappy screen grab.) (I know, it’s not 1994 anymore.)
Today, 15 July, marks the 40th anniversary of the UK release of Madonna’s #IntoTheGroove. And you can pre-order my new book on 80s pop history, also called #IntoTheGroove, from places like this: uk.bookshop.org/p/books/into...
Ouch. Take care.
That sounds terrifying. Hope you’re (above injuries notwithstanding) ok.
I love this one.
